KIPPRA participated in the Strengthening the Global South Climate Agenda – Recommendations for the G20 and Brics+ seminar during the G20 Social on 10th April 2024 at Brasilia, Brazil. The Institute was represented by Head of IESD Department, Dr Humphrey Njogu who made a presentation on Adoption of Green Technologies such as electronic vehicles in the global south at the Think 20 (T20) engagement. The presentation was informed by a draft policy that KIPPRA is undertaking. The T20 engagement aimed to promote knowledge exchange between Brazil and South Africa on the climate and just energy transition agenda in the context of the G20, Brics, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The seminar participants discussed the growing pressure to limit the Globe’s increase in temperature to less than 1,5 °C. The primary goal is to strengthen global cooperation and develop solutions to reduce social and environmental impacts. The event contributed to the implementation of two projects currently underway by South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA): Brics Shaping Economic Cooperation for Green Growth, Development, and the Just Transition: A Partnership between Brazil and South Africa, supported by the South African BRICS Think Tank, and the Global South Climate Network, supported by the African Climate Foundation.
